I've been reading SK works for 30 years now. I find him to be the master of his genre. Over the years, I've been less enthusiastic of his more recent books, but was excited to see that he returns closer to his roots in this one. There are two ways to think about rating this book. The first 80% or the last 20%. This 1,000+ page read had me totally engaged from the very beginning. First let me say a 1,000+ page SK book is not off par for this author...his true fans will never care about page count. If I were to rate it on the last 200 pages (or the ending), I'd give it low stars. The first 800 pages I give 5 stars. The ending was just so far out there and not even in keeping with the book itself, that I was disappointed. The ending felt a little rushed, almost as if he didn't even know how to explain the dome in the first place. A prolific writer like Mr. King could have easily brought better closure to this. I give it 4 stars because the ending just took away the 5 stars I was prepared to give it.
